Common Wellington applications
Plastic welding work in Wellington breaks down into a few dominant categories. The right tool depends on the job, but we see the same patterns across the region:
Infrastructure & construction
Wellington’s infrastructure and commercial construction work drives membrane waterproofing, site services and PE pipe repair.
Auto body & smash repair
High-frequency bumper and trim repair with PEMD rod and the automotive kit — fast, low-cost alternative to part replacement.
Marine & harbour
Harbour and coastal work uses plastic welding for fender repair, PE component fabrication and kayak/boat repair. PE-HD/PE-MD rod for most jobs; PVC for soft fittings.
Signage & commercial fit-out
ACM box-form signage, shopfront panels and lightboxes for Wellington’s commercial fit-out market — ACM panel kits and supporting tools.

Need help choosing the right tool?
Plastic welding is unforgiving of mismatched rod and substrate, wrong-temperature setups and undersized welders. Before you order:
- Identify the plastic you’re welding — check the recycling code stamped in the part.
- Decide how often you’ll use the welder — occasional repair work suits a Rion; daily commercial use needs a Triac.
- Pick the right rod profile and size — round (3/4/5mm) for most welding, triangular for fillets, flat for butt welds.
- Check accessory needs — pressure roller, brush, replacement element. Bundled kits include all of this.
FAQs from Wellington customers
How long does delivery take to Wellington?
We dispatch orders promptly on weekdays and ship nationwide by courier. Delivery time to Wellington depends on your address and the courier service — contact us and we’ll give you an estimate for your area.
I’m a body shop in Wellington looking at plastic bumper repair — where do I start?
The automotive kit is the right starting point — built around the Techspan Rion welder with PEMD rod (the polymer in almost every modern bumper), the right speed nozzle and a pressure roller. Call us to talk through your use case before ordering.
Do you supply trade and educational accounts?
Yes — trade pricing is available for ongoing commercial accounts, and we supply training institutes. Contact us with your account details to get set up.
What if I order the wrong rod or welder?
Phone or email first and we’ll talk through what you need before you order. Wrong rod for the plastic is the most common cause of failed welds — we’d rather you call than guess.
